SERAC-Bangladesh conducted 3 Orientations of youth volunteers on SRH and SGBV in October 2025 through the ISRHRD Project. This one-day training brought together 34 youth volunteers. This orientation focused on strengthening the self-efficacy of youth volunteers, building their confidence, communication skills, and technical knowledge to address SRHR and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) within their communities.
Volunteers oriented on Adolescent health and Menstrual regulation (MR) and post-abortion care (PAC), Family planning (FP) services, Values Clarification and Attitude Transformation (VCAT), Stigma reduction, social media engagement for SRHR advocacy, and Effective community outreach strategies.
By promoting these areas through an interactive learning environment, youth volunteers not only improved their knowledge but also reinforced their leadership roles in local advocacy and support efforts. The trainings will guide volunteers on how to effectively mobilize their communities, create safe spaces for discussion, and advocate for SRHR using a rights-based approach.
